The Ministry of Health Malaysia (MOH) is the national authority responsible for managing public hospitals and healthcare facilities across Malaysia. It oversees more than 150 hospitals and plays a central role in national medical program delivery, health infrastructure, and digital health initiatives.

Overview:
The Medical Program Information System (MPIS) is a comprehensive, cloud-native enterprise solution deployed across 152 hospitals under MOH. MPIS supports both clinical and non-clinical operations across national healthcare programs, integrating mission-critical modules into a unified hospital system.

Problem:
MOH required a nationwide solution to streamline hospital operations, standardize workflows, eliminate data silos, and improve service delivery. Legacy systems were fragmented and lacked interoperability, affecting patient management, resource planning, and clinical coordination.

Solution:
MHNexus implemented MPIS with 24 integrated modules, including:

• Clinical modules: Outpatient Care, Pharmacy, Ward Management, Radiology, Laboratory, Inpatient Management, Transplant, Mortality, Clinical Documentation, etc.
• Non-clinical modules: HRM, Hospital Capacity, Asset, Facility 360, User Admin, Billing, Quality Data, Helpdesk, etc.

MPIS is integrated with:

• LIS (Laboratory Information System) for real-time lab order and result synchronization.
• RIS & GEPACS (Radiology System & General Electric Picture Archiving and Communication System) for radiological workflow integration and image data exchange.
• SMRP (Patient Record Information System) for national repository of patient information.

The system is built on a microservices architecture, enabling modular deployment, secure communication (with encryption and role-based access), and compliance with Malaysia’s PDPA.

Outcome:

• Deployed nationwide in 152 MOH hospitals, streamlining clinical and operational workflows for thousands of users.
• Improved coordination across departments via integration with LIS-Laboratory Information System, GEPACS-General Electric Picture Archiving and Communication System and SMRP-Patient Record Information System, enhancing diagnostic turnaround time and patient safety.
• Enabled accurate data capture and centralized reporting across all key hospital functions.
• Strong feedback from users and MOH stakeholders for improving operational visibility, reducing manual processes, and preparing the infrastructure for future integration with national platforms, including traceability systems like PTTS.

MPIS stands as a scalable, production-proven platform critical to MOH’s ongoing digital transformation.
